76First, as regards the interest in transparency, it must be noted that this constitutes a public interest, to the extent that it is objective and general in nature (see judgment of 12 May 2015, Technion and Technion Research & Development Foundation v Commission, T‑480/11, EU:T:2015:272, paragraph 78 and the case-law cited). However, considerations as general as those put forward by the applicant, namely, an interest in understanding how the privatisation of Agrobanka Praha unfolded so that alleged irregularities of the same type do not recur in the future, as well as the interest in building the confidence of Czech citizens in their governmental institutions, so that they can satisfy themselves that the actions of the governmental institutions involved were lawful, adequate and appropriate, cannot provide an appropriate basis for establishing that, in the present case, the interest in transparency was in some sense especially pressing and capable, therefore, of prevailing over the reasons justifying the refusal to disclose the documents in question (see, to that effect, judgment of 14 November 2013, LPN and Finland v Commission, C‑514/11 P and C‑605/11 P, EU:C:2013:738, paragraphs 92 and 93).
